What makes this event different
Rather than relying on theory divorced from practice, this conference features presenters who actively operate within classrooms, districts, research settings, and state-level systems. Behavior analysts, educators, researchers, and system leaders come together to examine behavior change from multiple levels of impact — adult behavior, decision-making, values, and the systems that shape
outcomes.
The conference takes a behavioral leadership approach, focusing on how real-world constraints influence implementation and how prevention-first, values-aligned practices can be sustained over time. Sessions address common breakdowns in school-based change efforts and offer practical, experience-informed strategies grounded in the science of human behavior.
Across keynotes, focused sessions, and a multidisciplinary panel,
presenters share lessons learned from doing the work — including when common practices help, when they hinder progress, and how to make decisions that reduce reactivity and improve safety, engagement, and outcomes.
What sets this conference apart is its emphasis on use and transfer. Attendees receive real, downloadable, fillable tools designed by practitioners for practitioners — resources intended for immediate application in school
settings.
The Behavior Toolbox Conference is built for professionals who want insight from people who have navigated the same pressures, led change inside real systems, and are committed to doing better with science.
